Package: Competitive + Long‑Term Growth Pathway
You're not looking for another transport job, you're looking for a division to own. This role gives you exactly that! A key, UK Food business is creating a new Transport Director position to take full leadership of a high‑volume, fast‑moving logistics operation with huge headroom for growth. This is a rare opportunity to step into a business‑critical division with the autonomy, scale, and strategic influence normally reserved for board‑level roles.
What Makes This Role Different
- Division Ownership: You will take full accountability for a transport operation that already moves significant national volume, with the mandate to shape its future.
- Unlimited Growth Potential: The organisation is investing heavily in logistics capability. The size of this division is only limited by your ambition and strategic vision.
- True Autonomy: You'll have the freedom to design the structure, build the team, modernise the fleet strategy, and set the operational direction.
- Strategic Influence: You'll shape how product moves from field to customers across the UK.
- A Platform to Scale: With the right leadership, this division can double in size. The business wants someone who sees that potential and runs with it.
What You'll Lead
- A large, transport operation supporting national retail, wholesale, and foodservice customers
- A fleet that is ready for modernisation, optimisation, and long‑term strategic planning
- A team that needs a leader who can inspire, structure, and elevate performance
- Continuous improvement across compliance, cost control, service levels, and operational discipline
What You'll Bring
- Senior leadership experience in Transport, Logistics, or FMCG distribution
- A track record of scaling operations, improving performance, and building high‑performing teams
- The confidence to take ownership of a division and the vision to grow it
- A strategic mindset paired with hands‑on operational credibility
This is a chance to take a transport division with strong foundations and turn it into a market‑leading operation. You'll have the backing, the investment, and the freedom to build something exceptional, with no ceiling on what it can become.
